What's with the name?

Welcome! Most people want to know what's with my name, Nellene Tree. It's not really that exciting and I wish I had some amazing story behind it. The plain and simple truth is my parents decided to name me Nellene Tree. (my sister got Marie for her middle name, go figure) I have a feeling being born in the 70's has something to do with it. "wink, wink."

Here's the long and short of my life story.

I was born and raised in southern California. I’m kind of tall at 5’ 10”. I was married to a very special guy at age 19 and later we had our son. After 16 years of marriage I became a widow & single mom suddenly from a scuba diving accident. With faith, family and friends, my son and I have been able to find happiness again in life. My son has grown up to be a man his dad would be so proud of! I am now re-married to my personal "knight in shining armor", Ryan. Words cannot describe how amazing he is!

I've been an entrepreneur since I was 13 and I’ve always been very nostalgic, a.k.a. a hoarder. ;) However, a few years ago we sold everything and simplified our life. Since then, I appreciate having keepsakes that take up very little space. That is when I decided to to learn the art of hand stamping jewelry. I think it is the perfect gift and it's something I received myself over 22 years ago when my son was born.

These days I spend my time with my family & friends, volunteering and making jewelry.

Each hand stamped piece is made by me and only me. I use higher quality materials that are only made in the USA (so toxic materials are monitored). It's my hope to give people the opportunity to save memories and hold on to them. Whether it be a graduation, wedding, baptism, birth of a child or whatever special hallmark you'd like to remember…It would be my honor to create that for you.
